Covert stutter - misunderstood Anyone else have a covert or interiorised stutter? 30 years I’ve managed to get by with avoidance and some deep rooted tricks . But lately as I’m getting professionally more important it’s impacting me a lot more. It’s like it feeds on itself and thinking about it makes worse . My biggest fear is that I don’t convey my thoughts and reasonings in ways that I want to. The stutter isn’t so bad where it’s obvious. But blocking on key words, I either probably confuse what I’m saying or say it in an overly simplistic way. Anyone else had similar thoughts of being misunderstood?
